Community Boards don't issue permits or violations, but they do weigh in on things like sidewalk cafe applications, street closures for large construction projects, and neighborhood streetscape changes, giving local residents and business owners a voice before city agencies finalize decisions. For a routine sidewalk repair, a property owner is unlikely to interact with their Community Board at all; it becomes more relevant for larger commercial projects, sidewalk closures on busy corridors, or disputes over how public space is used.
